Hi martincoops,
Do you mean the £229k post-tax profit figure from the interims here?
It's just that this figure (a) includes exceptional, (b) doesn't allow for the increased directors' salaries, (c) doesn't allow for the tax that will have to be paid once the tax losses run out, and (d) isn't a six-week figure like daniel333 comes waffling about.
So overall after making adjustments for these, I'm forecasting pre-exceptional £250k post-tax profits for a full year. Allowing for exceptional items then I'm forcasting a loss of £2m, since the goodwill needs to be written off for Sim4Travel.
Re EPS, there's no point using EPS when the capital structure is going to change so materially. Given the imminent debt for equity swap at 0.1p per share it's important to focus on the balance sheet.
